it's so prevalent and so obvious it has to be a psyop from the right

of course some people are just that foolish

@benroyce @maya_b @gerowen @ariarhythmic @Mastodon @mellifluousbox It likely is, but the Left has done this before organicly in France, look at how big a deal Sartre, Boullivard, Camus once were and look at French left party enrollment since and look at the philosophers from France since, fighting with each other for smaller pieces of purity.

@Scrimshaw9 @benroyce @maya_b @gerowen @ariarhythmic @Mastodon @mellifluousbox The right unite in hate and corruption; the left divides because of different ideas of the purity vote (which can never exist, it can only ever be “is this going in the right direction).

@CStamp @Scrimshaw9 @maya_b @gerowen @ariarhythmic @Mastodon @mellifluousbox

well you mean the left direction

🤭

(i'm just kidding you, i know what you mean. stupid english language)

@CStamp @benroyce @maya_b @gerowen @ariarhythmic @Mastodon @mellifluousbox The right unites bc it is a death cult and the left is in check because the left can't meme... i dont mean make dumb little funny pix w words, I mean they cant generate cultural shifting slogans bc they are frankly quite dumb. "Defund the police" and "Abolish ICE" have to be 2 of the dumbest pol marketing slogans ever. Saying dumb ish like that givez the other side a 2x4 to beat you with. Easy to call the left lawless

@Scrimshaw9 @CStamp @maya_b @gerowen @ariarhythmic @Mastodon @mellifluousbox

i understand "defund the police" means divert funds to mental healthcare and people without housing. anyone with a brain understands this

but your average walnut brained american thinks it means no police and rampant crime. they conclude the left wants rampant crime. if they don't think that, right wing media certainly will manufacture lying outrage and make them think that

so yeah, messaging is a problem on the left

@benroyce @Scrimshaw9 Most US police departments are better equipped than armies of some countries, aren’t they? @maya_b @gerowen @ariarhythmic @Mastodon @mellifluousbox

@CStamp @Scrimshaw9 @maya_b @gerowen @ariarhythmic @Mastodon @mellifluousbox

yeah

it's ridiculous

it's not policing it's occupation military

of course the funding for that should disappear and be diverted to housing and healthcare

but try convincing the average american of that when right wing media brainwashes them to think the left wants rampant crime

@benroyce @Scrimshaw9 It is so easy to fact check that crap these days. Wilful ignorance us the worst kind of ignorance. @maya_b @gerowen @ariarhythmic @Mastodon @mellifluousbox

@Scrimshaw9 @maya_b @gerowen @ariarhythmic @Mastodon @mellifluousbox

the essential problem on the left

i didn't say with the left, because some of this infighting is achieved with agent provocateurs and right wingers cosplaying because it's so easy. but, yes, some of it is organic to the left

@benroyce @Scrimshaw9 @maya_b @gerowen @ariarhythmic @Mastodon @mellifluousbox I feel as though I must be missing something... shouldn't that image be flipped so that the left is on the, well, left?

@sennoma @Scrimshaw9 @maya_b @gerowen @ariarhythmic @Mastodon @mellifluousbox

but it's even worse than that because most of the world uses red for left and blue for right

so any non-american viewing this will be confused about what is being said here

@benroyce @Scrimshaw9 @maya_b @gerowen @ariarhythmic @Mastodon @mellifluousbox Heh, I'm so used to the US system that I didn't even notice the colours.

@benroyce @maya_b @gerowen @ariarhythmic @Mastodon @mellifluousbox I spend more time than I’d like pondering this. Is it not obvious that to win, we must form coalitions of people who font 100% agree on every issue, or are there a ton of fake personas online focused on dividing the left?

@CStamp @Scrimshaw9 @maya_b @gerowen @ariarhythmic @Mastodon @mellifluousbox

well i have good news for you!

the fascists are working hard to remove your ability to fact check
